For the EOPD sensor, with Xanders drivers, what is _processed value that is considered the point where the range of the sensor needs to be switched from short range to long range. If u can, i also want to know the _raw value.

yes thats what i meant. ok i will try experimentally. i just thought that u might know what is considered long range and whats considered short range. i dont really know how to experiment really with this since i will be getting values using both ranges no matter what. i just want to know when it is an ideal time to switch to make use of the ranges. shouldn't u know what the values are for short range and long range if they exist to be used for certain distances.

Re: EOPD Ranges

It's hard to give an exact threshold value for a sensor such as the EOPD sensor, because the threshold value (when to switch from 'long' to 'short' range) will vary from application to application. One robot might want to stay 16 inches away from an object; another robot using the same sensor may want to stay 6 inches away from the same object.

We would need to know what you are using the sensor for and how far away from objects you want to be before other actions in the code are triggered, which is actually the answer you need anyways. How far away from (or close to) an object do you need to be before the robot changes behaviors?
